Networking Breakout
With your school site in mind, individually review the SEL tiers
document. Discuss any of the following with your group:

   • How do students move through these tiers at your school?

   • How might you use the tiered SEL structure to support collaboration with
     your administration in making referrals for mental health services?

   • Does your school have a clear process for determining section 504
     services?
         -If yes, how do you distinguish between considering 504 services or an
         assessment for special education?
         -If no, what steps can you take to begin developing this process?

Considerations
 ● A clear MTSS framework for MH supports can effectively support student’s well being and reduce
   referrals for special education, the school psychologist can provide crucial perspectives in designing
   these structures and supports

 ● Establish a pathway for determining Section 504 eligibility that apply to academic, behavior and social
   emotional needs. Regardless of the methodology utilized to determine Section 504 eligibility, document
   the data and sources of information used in making the determination (e.g., school based mental health
   assessment information, private diagnoses, private assessments, behavior data, observations, etc.)

 ● Progress monitoring is a critical component of providing mental health services. For students without
   IEPs, consider ways to track progress. At what point will a referral for special education be made?

 ● When determining school-based mental health services, consider how the students’ mental health
   needs relate to their education:
        ■ How do the student’s mental health or behavior needs manifest educationally?
        ■ How is the student’s learning and school performance impacted by mental health challenges?
        ■ How are the student’s grades, attendance, behaviors, discipline, relationships, and social
            involvement impacted?
ERMHS & Provider Requirements
Questions, Questions, Questions
Questions, Questions, Questions (cont.)
Q: What is the difference between an ERMHS assessment
and a Social-Emotional assessment when completing a
Psycho-Educational evaluation?

A: The purpose of the ERMHS assessment is to examine areas of social-emotional
need and determine whether educationally related mental health services are
required in order for the student to access their education. If needed, ERMHS
assessment data informs the implementation of meaningful effective and evidence-
based interventions. Assessment data collected during the assessment is used to
update present levels, determine eligibility for ERMHS services, write ERMHS goals
and make an informed recommendation to the IEP regarding the appropriate
frequency and duration of services.
